Me, of course. I win. I started a new contest. It's called "Let's go to the grocery store and see who can spend the most money without actually buying anything". I just spent $50 and left with hardly anything. Some banana's (which must be $17.59 a pound) and a couple of items that were 10 for $10.
I am very excited that I am going to see Kathy Griffin in October. Yippy!
Secret memo to ZarahZou- when do you want to get a practice pedicure? It's probably a good idea if we get lots of practice ones before I go to Florida so that I can make sure I know how to get them. What if I forget?
My dentist sent me a very nice courtesy reminder that I haven't paid my bill yet. That was so thoughtful of them. Memo to the dentist: I can't pay my bill right now because I'm too busy giving all of my to the grocery store in exchange for a couple of banana's and a tub of sour cream.
I'm selling my pink Coach on ebay. I'm kinda worried because the bidding is only up to $23.50. It's worth about $70-80, but I'd like at least $50. But that's the risk you take when you start the bidding at $.99. I hope it goes up.
Ok, I'm going to do the dishes. I like doing the dishes just about as much as I like paying the dentist.

I'm not really a waitress,,,,
But I do have really pretty toes. "I'm not really a waitress" is the name of the OPI nail polish that I have on my toes. I got my first pedicure of the season yesterday, and it was most excellent! I like pedicures. After the pedicure, ZarahZou and I went to a Chinese buffet for lunch. I like Chinese buffet's, too. It was an excellent day. I also got my Pampered Chef products. it was almost like Christmas. I got so many fun things. I can't wait to use them.
ZickyZou thinks I'm brilliant. He told me so about 50 times. We went out for Chinese Friday night. Like I always do, I dipped my egg roll first in the spicy mustard then in the sweet & sour. He told me that it looked disgusting. I told him it was most excellent and to try it. He did. And he liked it. And told me that I was absolutely brilliant for inventing it. And he told me a zillion times over the rest of the night how brilliant I am. It's the little things.
I'm going back to Weight Watchers. The third time might be the charm. Hopefully. I'd really like to lose 30 pounds. But I'll settle for 25. I weigh about what I weighed the first time I joined WW. And I was able to lose 25 pounds. too bad I couldn't keep it off. This time I am more determined.
I'm selling my pink Coach pebbled leather handbag on ebay. It's going to be hard, but it's time to let it go. Plus I need to $$. So, I'm off to take pictures of it.....

Tator tot hotdish
Tonight I made tator tot hotdish. Even thought ZickyZou doesn't really like it, it's something that both me and princess enjoy, so every so often I make it. And since I rinsed off the 93/7 hamburger and used 98% fat free cream of celery, it isn't terribly unhealthy. Except that the tator tots are my favorite part. And there is enough elftover that we can have it again on Thursday (we are having chicken tomorrow night since I already took it out of the freezer) and maybe even some left for Friday!
Last Friday night ZickyZou and I went to the Twins game. It probably would have been fun (awesome seats) but they lost. And plus ZickyZou promised to catch me a Justin Morneau home-run. Except the Twins didn't even score one run, let alone a home-run. That was sad. But it was a nice night out.
Next Saturday morning I have an appointment for my first pedicure of the season. I am meeting ZarahZou at the beauty school so we can both get our feet made pretty. Then we can go out to lunch and show them off. I miss e-mailing with her everyday. (sniffle...sniffle). But today I spent my work day learning about the quadratic equation. I am now a semi-expert on -b - the square root of b squared times 4 times a times b over 2a. I hope that's right since I've been chanting it to myself for the past 4 hours. I now think I know semi-enough to teach it to my daughter maybe. Except she doesn't want to learn it. And I really wish that someone would give me an example of how it applicable to real life. Plus, it doesn't make sense to me how a math problem can have 2 answers. Oh, well.
I just finished reading Duma Key, the newest Stephen King novel. It was actually not bad. I expected it to be crazy. I read Lisey's Story and couldn't believe that the brilliant guy that wrote The Stand wrote about Lisey. But, Duma Key helps him redeem himself. I just started the newest book by Harlan Coben, but I can't remember the name. It's okay so far, but I think I need to read something lighter next. Maybe I'll re-read a Shopaholic book.
MissZalyssa wants to get a job so that she can get another cat. I don't think that Tabby-Wabby would appreciate that. She doesn't even like that we live here, I can't imagine how she would feel about another animal.
Ok, I need to go over to my parents house to help my mom with something. Then the treadmill......

I hate my treadmill....
I just had to say that. It works perfectly fine. But it makes my feet hurt and it makes tired. If only it would make me skinny.....I just saw an ad on myspace that said "Are you fat? Take this quiz to find out". Do people actually click on that crap? I don't really need an on-line quiz to tell me that I need to lose weight (I have my doctor for that). Do you type in your height and weight and then SHAZAM! it tells you if you're fat? Brilliant. I wonder if you have to put in you credit card # first.
Saturday zarahzou and I are co-hosting a Pampered Chef party. I am rather excited because I am going to make my favorite taco dip and I have been walking extra on the treadmill so that I can eat it and only feel slightly guilty. It's no wonder that I hate my treadmill. I have walked for 60 minutes a night, 4 (sometimes 5) nights a week for a month. I have eaten around 1500 calories most days, 1800 a couple of days. I have lost .5 pounds. Yes, that is half a pound. at that rate, I am going to walk 5,865,432 miles before I lose 10 pounds. And my doctor suggested I lose 20 to even consider going off the blood pressure medication.
Misszalyssa wants a new ipod. Since I just bought her a new phone, I told her that she needed to find a way to pay for it. She is returning her new Juicy Couture swimsuit (that I know she really wants to keep) and she is selling a bunch of stuff on ebay. Hopefully she'll get enough $. Selling stuff on ebay is a pain in the azz. But it's a good lesson for the princess - having to give up old stuff to get new stuff.
I just finished a book called "Damaged" by Cathy Glass. The book is very well-written, but the subject matter is extremely disturbing, especially since it is a true story. It's written by a lady who is a foster care provider and it's about one of the children she took in and the horrific abuse that the little girl suffered before being placed into foster care. When I finished it, I was deeply disturbed and sad. I read the whole book on Saturday because I couldn't put it down. I wanted a happy ending. But I don't think that there is truly happy ending for a child who is put through so much.
I also just finished "Honor Thyself" by Danielle Steele. It was okay. Just another Danielle Steele book. They are pretty much all the same. I am now reading a double novel by Harlan Coben. I think I may have read at least one of the two books before. Good thing my memory is shot. I can re-read a book and not even know it.
Zomeone that I e-mail every single work day, usually at least 100 e-mails a day back and forth got in trouble for sending me e-mails. I'm sad without being able to e-mail her. I told Zickyzou that she got in trouble for e-mailing me. He said that it was dumb she got into trouble. Then I told him how many e-mails we usually send and he said that we should both get written up. But the funny thing is, I get more work done when I'm e-mailing her than when I'm not. When I am e-mailing her, I have to stay at my desk and work super fast. When I'm not e-mailing her, it's easy to get up and walk around and talk to people or to get side-tracked and be doing something off of the computer.
Ok, it's 9:10 and I want to go to bed early.
